Community Science Workshop

Illegal dumping. Air pollution. Ongoing environmental stress.
These aren’t distant problems—they’re happening in our neighborhoods, impacting our health, our environment, and our future.

This workshop brings the community together to understand what’s happening—and take action.

  • Opportunities to get involved in community-led solutions

  • Direct connection to organizations and initiatives doing the work on the ground
